The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women: What Impact, If Any, Has It Had On Reproductive Health And Abortion Rights Around The World?, Casey Katz Pearlman Apr 2020

The Convention On The Elimination Of All Forms Of Discrimination Against Women: What Impact, If Any, Has It Had On Reproductive Health And Abortion Rights Around The World?, Casey Katz Pearlman

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The note examines the impact of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) on reproductive rights and abortion laws, with a focus on Ireland's 2018 repeal of the Eighth Amendment, which legalized abortion. While CEDAW did not directly cause the repeal, it contributed to a broader international framework influencing the decision. The note also compares Ireland's experience with the United States, where CEDAW has not been ratified, and highlights the ongoing challenges in advancing reproductive rights globally.


The Elastic Meaning(S) Of Human Trafficking, Julie A. Dahlstrom Apr 2020

The Elastic Meaning(S) Of Human Trafficking, Julie A. Dahlstrom

Faculty Scholarship

What is human trafficking? When is an expansive definition of trafficking justifiable? How does trafficking relate to other concepts—like domestic violence, sexual assault, labor exploitation, and prostitution—with which it often overlaps? These questions have become increasingly salient after the U.S. Congress defined the crime of human trafficking in the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (“TVPA”). Since then, all fifty states have passed legislation with varying definitions of the crime. Congress also has re-entered the field with subsequent legislation, expanding the crime to capture new conduct.

Online Sex Trafficking Hysteria: Flawed Policies, Ignored Human Rights, And Censorship, Regina A. Russo

Cleveland State Law Review

On April 11, 2018, President Donald Trump signed the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) into law. The law, passed with bipartisan support, created a new federal offense that prohibits the use or operation of websites with the intent to "promote" or "facilitate" prostitution, expanded existing liability for federal sex trafficking offenses, and amended Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Touted as the "most important law protecting Internet speech," section 230 provides broad protection for online intermediaries that host or republish speech. It immunizes online intermediaries from liability for the things that third-party users …


New Media, Free Expression, And The Offences Against The State Acts, Laura K. Donohue Mar 2020

New Media, Free Expression, And The Offences Against The State Acts, Laura K. Donohue

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

New media facilitates communication and creates a common, lived experience. It also carries the potential for great harm on an individual and societal scale. Posting integrates information and emotion, with study after study finding that fear and anger transfer most readily online. Isolation follows, with insular groups forming. The result is an increasing bifurcation of society. Scholars also write about rising levels of depression and suicide that stem from online dependence and replacing analogical experience with digital interaction, as well as escalating levels of anxiety that are rooted in the validation expectation of the ‘like’ function. These changes generate instability …
